Frequently Asked Questions
Do you know the regulations?
We follow standard positioning guidance - visible, appropriate height, along escape routes. Your fire risk assessor specifies locations. We install where they've indicated.
Illuminated or standard signs?
We install both. Standard signs just need fixing. Illuminated signs need power - we connect to existing points. New electrical runs need an electrician.
Can you do multiple signs?
Yes - most premises need several signs. We work through them systematically. More efficient to do the whole building at once.
What about old signs?
We can remove and dispose of old signs as part of the job. Often makes sense when upgrading signage.
